Are you successful in your current role but interested in discreetly learning about better opportunities with genuine people?
As a successful Senior Civil Engineer (or an experienced Engineer with 5+ years of solid experience), you should always know your market worth and the scope of what's available.
If you haven't had a decent pay rise recently, or your manager is suggesting the market is slow, you absolutely need to get in touch. I can confirm: the Newcastle market is busy, and salaries are moving significantly for top talent.
I'm partnered with five genuine and authentic engineering consultancies in Newcastle. These are firms where the managers are real people who love Newcastle and take pride in providing a great place to work for their team. My role is to provide you with confidential market intelligence—not to push you into an application.

Discreet Market Insights Available
Partner with me to gain discreet, non-committal access to what these firms can offer regarding culture, projects, and pay, ensuring you never miss a career-defining move.

Culture, Structure & Rewards

• The Managers: Connect with leaders who are transparent, value team input, and are genuinely invested in their people's success and happiness. They love a good chat over a coffee.
• Work-Life Balance: Learn about firms offering excellent shortened work weeks or Rostered Days Off (RDOs), and how their WFH flexibility hybrid model truly works.
• Compensation: Understand how your experience is valued, comparing opportunities that reward with guaranteed paid overtime versus attractive annual bonus schemes.

Project Scope & Specialisation

• Focus your skills on major Transport or Water Infrastructure.
• Lead teams on high-volume Urban Development projects.
• Compare the culture of small, specialist teams versus the resources of large firms.

Your Senior Expertise is Highly Sought After
The need for technical leadership across these firms is consistent, requiring proven expertise in:

• Proficiency in Civil 3D or 12D for complex pavement design, road design, and bulk earthworks.
• Experience tackling complex stormwater management challenges, including proficient use of software such as MUSIC and DRAINS.
